Indiana Ditch Threat to Harvey Seaws Watershed Change
Harvey faces potential upheaval as Indiana plans a large drainage ditch across the Calumet River near the state line. The project would reverse river flow into the ditch, divert a vast watershed east toward Lake Michigan, reducing Harvey’s water supply and complicating sewerage. Legal action may pursue in federal courts if Indiana Supreme Court rulings favor the ditch.
